Public bug reported:
Dictionary included with package radusclient-ng missing required attributes for
pppd.
When pppd receive attribute, which is not defined in dictionary it DROP
CONNECTION !!!
Steps to reproduce:
1) configure pppd for radius authentication
2) configure radius accounting with Acct-Interim-Interval at radius server
After first interval, pppd send AccountingRequest packet and drop
connection with 'unknown attribute'
To fix this, need to include attributes, used by pppd to dictionary:
# RFC 2869
ATTRIBUTE Acct-Interim-Interval 85 integer
# Limit session traffic
ATTRIBUTE Session-Octets-Limit 227 integer
# What to assume as limit - 0 in+out, 1 in, 2 out, 3 max(in,out)
ATTRIBUTE Octets-Direction 228 integer
# Octets-Direction
VALUE Octets-Direction Sum 0
VALUE Octets-Direction Input 1
VALUE Octets-Direction Output 2
VALUE Octets-Direction MaxOveral 3
VALUE Octets-Direction MaxSession 4
Also, pppd unable to authenticate with radius, when Mictosoft MS-CHAPv2
authentication is configured because of no of this attributes defined in
dictionary.
All this problems is very simple to fix - just include all attributes,
used by pppd to dictionary.
I attached dictionaries for pppd and microsoft attributes.
To include it, please add this to /etc/radiusclient-ng/dictionary:
INCLUDE dictionary.pppd
INCLUDE dictionary.microsoft
Patch attached.
